Custom Column: Return "Latest" if date in table is the latest. If not, return "Not Latest"

Hi,

 

I need to create a oretty simple custom column.  I need it to return the word "Latest" if Table[Date] is the most recent date in the column.  Otherwise, I want the column to return the word "Not Latest".

 

Here is an example set of data:

 

Date                Gender                Age              Color

10/1/2017        M                        19                 Purple

10/1/2017        M                         20                 Green

5/3/2019          F                           3                  Yellow

7/20/2020        M                          7                   White

12/30/2001      F                            35                Orange

7/13/2022        F                            41                Pink

 

I want the column to return the following

 

Date                Gender                Age              Color               New Column

10/1/2017        M                        19                 Purple             Not Latest

10/1/2017        M                         20                 Green             Not Latest

5/3/2019          F                           3                  Yellow             Not Latest

7/20/2020        M                          7                   White            Not Latest

12/30/2001      F                            35                Orange          Not Latest

7/13/2022        F                            41                Pink               Latest

Hi @Anonymous 
Please try this as a calculated column:

 

Latest Date =
IF(
'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date]),"Latest","Not Latest")
